An Unusual Combination of Truncus Arteriosus, Interrupted Aortic Arch, and Hypoplastic Left Ventricle

World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2018 Nov;9(6):714-717. doi: 10.1177/2150135117716886. Epub 2017 Sep 19.

Abstract

Truncus arteriosus (common arterial trunk) is known to be associated with interrupted aortic arch in 10% to 15% of cases. However, the association of either of these lesions with a hypoplastic left ventricle is rare. The combination of all three of these lesions along with an intact interventricular septum is virtually unknown with only two cases reported in the literature. We report such a case with its anatomical and surgical management aspects.

Keywords: Norwood procedure; hypoplastic left ventricle; interrupted aortic arch; truncus arteriosus.
